Bars in Bar Harbor

“I was hesitant about taking my young family here, but the loft did not disappoint! It's a new family favorite in Bar Harbor, and I have converted to loving seafood and the raw menu because of the loft! The ahi tuna nachos were a hit all around and a big recommendation to try! We can't wait to go back! The staff and food was amazing, and they even catered to my two children (1yr and 4yrs old).“

“Dog friendly even with their own menu…the entire staff here is amazing as are the oysters!! Awesome spot!!“

“I have a severe dairy allergy and they were extremely accommodating! Great food, great atmosphere, wonderful staff.“

“My wife and I arrived at the restaurant around 8pm and it was empty (it’s still early in the season). Even though the restaurant was already setup for breakfast in the morning they were happy to seat us and the service was excellent.
We started with the bruschetta which was full of flavor and carefully prepared. For main entrees we split the Spaghetti Pomodoro with meatballs (full portion) and Salsiccia Pepe pizza. Both were delicious and a healthy serving of food. Plenty of leftovers
For drinks we started with wine and ended with cocktails. I ordered an old fashioned (not on the menu) and it was a very healthy pour. Overall great service and a lovely experience. It’s not a cheap restaurant but it was worth every penny in my opinion!
Fantastic views overlooking the bay!

“Their late-night happy hour was a highlight of my last trip. The oysters were so fresh, and their mignonette put every other I’ve ever had to complete shame.“

“You must eat here! The atmosphere is lovely and laid back. The drinks (and mocktails) are wonderful. The food... the food is fantastic! You can't go wrong with the apps, but the Dilly Pickled Veg is the perfect little zippy snack while you wait for your dinner. The entire dinner menu is truly inspired. The bang bang fried chicken is always a personal go to... but I opted for the Crab BLT tonight and was blown away! My hubby had the Lamb Shwarma and practically licked his plate... the pita alone was a light, fluffy delight. If you order the fries, which you most certainly should, get the garlic aioli... you'll thank me later, it's also good with the lamb. ;)“

“Nice place with very vibrant atmosphere. Very few vegetarian options , the quinoa burger was not available, but salads and hummus plate were good. Other members in our group had fish n chip and chicken salad , and they loved it. Would be good place for sea food lovers. They have some draft beers which are also nice. Overall a good experience in a prime bar harbor downtown.“

“Great food with an attentive staff. Just enjoyed a wonderful meal with our out of town friends.“

“Wicked awesome to find a restaurant that has great food, is reasonably priced (for Bar Harbor) and also caters to food allergies! I’ve recently come up with some food sensitivities and can no longer have gluten or dairy, and these guys acted like it was no big deal at all. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“

“Best vaca find ever! Superb cocktails, tremendous food AND live music? Shut the front door. This place is great!“
